Intergraph Corporate Keynote Andrew Munro, General Manager, Southeast Asia, Utilities, Communications, Government and Transportation, Intergraph In this session, Andrew will provide an update of Intergraph from a global and local perspective and provide an introduction to the conference theme, “Data as a Service”. He will expand on the vision and opportunity of an integrated world, where data is available on demand and in real time to enhance understanding, aid decision-making processes and improve productivity in the business environment. The New Zealand Geospatial Office and a National Spatial Data Infrastructure Kevin Sweeney, Geospatial Custodian, New Zealand Geospatial Office, Land Information New Zealand The New Zealand government embarked on a deliberate effort to develop geospatial information and technologies as components of its economic development strategy, with the publication in 2007 of the New Zealand Geospatial Strategy and later that year, formation of the New Zealand Geospatial Office. In this session, Kevin will cover the program of work that was subsequently developed for the Geospatial Office to support coordinated implementation of the national geospatial strategy. A key project within that work program involves the facilitation of a national spatial data infrastructure (SDI). In support of the Geospatial Office SDI initiative, Land Information New Zealand has established a Geospatial Centre of Excellence, to include a customer engagement strategy, data quality improvement projects and the implementation of SDI provider and catalogue nodes to promote discoverability, accessibility and interoperability of LINZ core datasets. General Sales Update Richard Vernon, Business Development Manager, Intergraph There have been a number of changes this year in the way Intergraph New Zealand works with clients across the Security, Government and Insfrastructure space. New staff, combined with new programs and an extended focus throughout Southeast Asia, have been put in place since early this year. In this session, Richard will provide some insight into the progress of the Banquet program for local government that was first discussed and presented at last year’s conference. He will also cover aspects of the major government initiative involving Crown Fibre Holdings, and the competition to secure funding for Fibre to the Home (FTTH) in New Zealand.

In this session, Robert will introduce SDI Portal, a new product from Intergraph that brings together SDI-related web services in a public-facing, browser-friendly internet portal. He will expand on previous Intergraph SDI presentations and provide examples of existing portals. Data-Centric Business Services at Environment Waikato Bryan Clements, Environment Waikato Data in itself is not a service, but highly effective business-driven services can be built around timely and accurate data to deliver business information. In this session, Bryan will share Environment Waikato’s approach to GIS, calling on a wealth of corporate spatial-related data to help numerous parts of the council in their daily business decisions. GeoMedia Grid to Support Wildfire Spread Prediction with Prometheus Adrian Buddle, Southland District Council Prometheus is a Canadian-developed fire growth simulation program that will be used by the Southern Rural Fire Authority (SRFA), of which the Southland District Council (SDC) is a member organisation. One of the applications of the program is that it can be used during a wildfire to predict fire spread. However, to be able to deploy operationally, many of the data inputs – most of which are derived from Digital Elevation model data – need to be prepared in advance of a wildfire. In this session, Adrian will focus on this data preparation challenge and how GeoMedia Grid can help to achieve the goal of operational readiness.


Geospatial Applications Roadmap Anton van Wyk, Intergraph In this session, Anton will outline the product roadmap of desktop, industry and web applications. He will also discuss the features and benefits of the latest released products, what has been planned for 2010-2011, and Intergraph’s vision for the future. Learn about new emerging technology and how Intergraph is incorporating it in existing and new products. A Checklist of Good Practices Bryan Clarke and Shelley Sutcliffe, Vicinity Solutions Are you contemplating the implementation of data as a service? You will need it to be discoverable and reliable. In this session, Bryan and Shelley will step through a checklist of good practices when implementing a new data set or data service. Spatially Updating Textual Datasets Kyle Dow, Christchurch City Council Keeping the spatial and textual views of your business in sync has always been a challenge. Now with the help of the Advanced Feature Model and a few other smarts, it is possible to keep those systems in sync without doing it manually. As part of a recent project, the Christchurch City Council made the decision to create and update rating attributes from the GIS in real time.
